Daddy Williams Bible Trick.

From Harper's Magazine.
There lived in Alexandria,. in Viz
ginia am old colored man and woman
whom their acqnaint tances called Dad
dy and mamma Williams. He had
had educational advantages and
could read in fashion peculiarly his
owns but his wife, although lacking as
regards erudition, possessed great
force of character. which she often
displayed in manner that was very
irritating to her husband. When she
became particularly fractious Daddy
would take the bible and open to
that chapter in Revelations begin
ming, And there appeared great
wonder in heaven, woman clothed
with the sun. and the moor under her
feet, etc.
With Impressive solemnity he would
read as follows: An dere 'peared a
great wonder in heben, q woman!'''
Slowly closing his book, be would gaze
sternly at has now subdued wife, Tor
the passage never failed to produce
the desired effect.

Oil Wealth of Pennsylvania.

Oil City Derrick. @
AS basis OF work tor those who
love to revel in amazing figures we
may state that statistics show that
$4,000 wells have been drilled in
Pennsylvania and New York since the
discovery OF petroleum, at cost Of
100000. These wells have produc-
ed 31O.OOO,OOO barrels OF oil, which
were sold at the wells for $5OO,OOO,-
600. This represented profit to the
producer of $3OO,OOO,OOO. The
amount OF oil exported is placed at
6,231, 1,1O2,923 gallons. In the pool
IN Washington county alone So, ,2OO,-
900 has been expended in machinery
and drilling. This does not include
the many millions that are repre-
sented there in the natural gas in
dustry. Independent of the oil busi-
ness there is about $5O,OOO,OOO in
vested in natural gas plants in Penn
sylvania. These are majestic figures,
and serve to show the magnitude Of
the oil and gas business.

Ex-senator Tabor's Divorced
Wife.

Denver Letter to Utica Observer.
Atall, fine-lo oklng, we'll dressed wom-
an was sitting near the fare-box. in
a broadway street-car as Ientered it.
She had a high forehead, dark. brown
hair, black eyes and remarkably in
telligent feathres. A friend sat beside
her and to him she talked pleasantly.
Her tones were low and her English
was OF the pnrest. She was appa-ent-
ly about forty years OF age, and my
attention was first attracted to her
by the fact that she had overpaid her
fare, putting in a dime fora nickel. /
made this even by giving her my fare
instead OF putting it into the box.
AS she left the car learned she was a
woman with a history, and that she
was no other than ex-senator Tabor's
first wife the woman who made his
big strike for him by taking boarders
and keeping the store which supplied
the feed for the prospectors who
struck the Little Pittsburg mine
This was the woman from whom Ia
Dor got his divorce, and it was this
woman he left to marry the present
Mrs. Tabor, whom he first welded at
St. Louis, afterward another marriage
ceremony was solemnized at Washing
ton. She does not look like disap-
pointed woman, and she is by no
means one OF the frail reeds OF the
fair sex. Idon't think she would have
disgraced her husband at Washington,
and find that here at Denver her
standing is yerv good. She is in good
circumstances, the property which
Tabor gave her having largely increas-
ed in value. She is worth at least
$500, 900 to-day, and she lately sold
sixteen lots out OF a piece of forty
which Taborgaveher for 100000. She
has left twenty-four lots and house
upon them that cost $4,000, and
she still owns the La Veta property.
This last consists OF fourteen three
story houses, built in the best man
ner, and forming good renting proper
ty,worth about 100000.

LITTLE THINGS.

We call him strong who stands unm owed ~
Calm as some temp beaten rock
When some great trouble hurts its shock;
We say OF him. his strength is proved;
Butwhen the spent storm folds it's WINGS
How bears he then life's little things?
About his brow we twine our wreath
Who seeks the battles thickest smoke,
Braves flashing gun and saber stroke,
And SCOTS at danger, laughs ut death;
We praise him till the whole land rings;
But is he brave in little things?
We cali him great who does some deed
That echo bears from shore to shore
Does that, and then does nothing more;
Yet would his work earn richer need,
hen brought before the King of Kings,
Were he but great in little things?

A Joke on q lawyer.
From the Marietta (Go.) Journal.

From the Marietta (Go.) Journal
Lawyers are always telling jokes on each
other. In crowd the other day we heard
good one on one of our ablest and most
successful attorneys. 1t was stated that at
Justice Court the aforesaid lawyer had
made long, loud and energetic speech.
The attorney in reply deliberately started
off by saying May it please the court,
my brother who has just preceded me in
his noisy and ranting speech, reminds me of
a story | heard in which a farmer had lost
a good many chickens nightly by some
thief He locked his chicken house,
chinked up the cracks, and still the chick
ems would disappear. Determined to catch
the thief he hung a large bell over the
chicken house to which he attached a rope
and then circled the chicken house with it,
SO that any one coming in contact with the
rope would ring the bell. Seated in his
house at night with double barrel shotgun
across his lap, he didn't have long to wait
before the bell tapped. The farmer has
tened to shoot the intruder, but he was in
visible. He returned to the house and again
waited when the bell rang out the second
time, clear and strong. The farmer rushed
out and discovered that a 'possum had
climbed the rope. He waited minute to
see the result, when the 'possum looked up
at the bell and exclaimed: "Well, if you
haven't got the biggest mouth, the longest
tongue and the least brains of anything
ever saw in my life"

1.-THE position which Lord Salisbury's
government now occupies is one OF con-
siderable difficulty. He has embarked upon
a course which ostensibly is intended TO
maintain Parliamentary union in the two
countries. In order TO accomplish tins ne
has been compelled to pass coercion act,
which cannot be popular even among his
own supporters.
THE LAND BILL
"In order to mitigate the unpopularlty
which this act has undoubtedly thrown
upon his government, he has forced through
Parliament a land measure which in its con-
ception is infinitely more radical and more
completely subversive of the right Of prop
erty, as a lawyer would look at it, than Mr..
Gladstone's land act of 1882. He has de-
prived the Irish landlord, by act of Parlia-
ment, of a portion of that statutory right
which was decreed as an unalienable pos
session to the Irish landlord for "a period of
fifty years by Mr. Gladstones act of 1882,
and he has not offered one penny of COM
pensation for this measure of Parliamentary
spoliation. We must leave it to lawyers
and jurists to judge of his wisdom of the
measure, but that it will in any way in Ire
land mitigate the unpopularity of his coer-
cion act it would be ridiculous to suppose.
CoERcIoN's WORKINGS.
with regard to the successful working
of the coercion act which has been passed
and of the policy of suppressing the
National League, it is perfectly impossible
to say how far Lord Salisbury's govern
ment may be successful in REFRESHING the
popular ferment. The forces allied against
the government are undoubtedly strong.
Not only the Irish element in Parliament
and the popular feeling in Ireland itself are
very strong forces to contend against, but
the hand and glove support which the Irish
party are now receiving from Mr.. Gladstone
and his supporters will tend very largely to
weaken the hand of any government which
endeavors to administer the law in the face
of the passions of the Irish people.
HARD PROBLEM.
1.-THE problem has become an extremely
difficult one The majority in Parliament
is, to a certain extent, homogeneous What
the feeling of the electors-at-large in Eng
land and Scotland with regard to the pres
ent government is it is absolutely impossible
to say.n
Speaking of the American sympathies
with the home rule cause, his grace con-
tinued:
"The Americans suffer in more than one
respect from a misapprehension of the
analogy between the constitutions of the
two nations America, with its great ag-
gregation of States, is something like the
vast continent of Europe with all its diff
ferent nations. New York and California,
for instance, are widely separated, and their
relations between England and Ireland
must be as close as those between Kent and
Middlesex.

ut is impossible to conceive of two sepa-

England and Ireland which would not be
disastrous and conflicting to both, particu-

needs Of ireland and England are so similar
that while home rule in some form is ne

Our third party prohibition friends hurl
anathemas against the republican party be
cause of the defeat of the amendment, but
are as silent as the grave in regard to the
democratic party. Had the republicans all

have swept the state; but they have nothing to
say as to what would have been the result
if the democrats had all done the same thing
The republicans submitted the amendment
and vast majority of the party supported il
at the polls. The democratic party opposed
submission and voted against the amendment
at the polls, as is evident from an inspection
of the returns from the several counties
Notwithstanding these facts, the third party

The Temperance Question

Mrs. MARY L. LATHRAP, president of the
state w. G. Il. T., has written an open letter
to the unions of Michigan, strongly and bit
terly opposing local option and high taxa
tion saying among other things, Eve believe
higher taxation to be higher shame and
sin: we do not want it,"
The NoRrHERNER has heretofore done all
that lay in its power to aid in securing con-
stitutional prohibition, and is as ready and
willing as Mrs. LATHRAP herself TO continue
the battle on that liue, but it cannot endorse
the position taken by Mrs. LArHRAp and her
followers. Followed to its legitimate and
inevitable conclusion, it is equivalent to say
ing that until such time as constitutional
prohibition can be secured, il is better to lie,
the traffic remain perfectly free and untram
meled than to attempt to curtail it in any
manner. Because Mrs. LATHRAP cannot save
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1887-06-01

all the victims of the rum traffic from ruin,
she would not save any; because she cannot
protect the entire state from the curse, she
would protect none. Only one alternative is
presented by her manifesto, constitutional
prohibition or free whiskey We do not
assert that she says this in so many words
but such is the logic of her argument. Any
thing short of constitutional prohibition is a
compromise all compromise is wrong
and we do not want it, is the whole tenor
and drift of her letter.
We are sorry this is so, os it tends to divide
the temperance forces and to ALLEVIATE many
good temperance people, who are as honest
in their opinions and as earnest in their con.
victions as the president of the w. G. L. u.
or any of her followers men and women who
are willing to aid any plan that will have
tendency to cripple the power of the saloon
or to save any of its victims, however few in
number, looking forward steadily to the time
for which they are waiting, working and
praying, when prohibition, foil and complete,
shall be obtained, and counting every onward
step as bringing them just SO much nearer
TO the desired contamination.
Mrs. LATHRAP also asks a resubmission of
the amendment to be voted on at a special
election, SO that the election of party candi-
dates may not interfere with voting for a
principle We wish this could be done, but
it cannot. Mrs. LATHRAP ought to know
that there is no power in the legislature to
concede such request. The constitution
itself requires that all proposed amendments
must be submitted at general election,
either in the spring or fall as the case may
be. Michigan Will not have another general
election until the fall of 1888. 1t is possible
that the Legislature chosen at that time might
again submit the question to a vote of the
people. The NoRTHERNER hopes it may do
so and, should such be the case, it expects to
be found in the ranks doing battle for the
cause as yaliantly as it may be able. In the
meantime, it proposes to advocate and cham
pion every measure that it honestly believes
will tend to check, curtail or in any manner
hamper or burden the Ubiquitous traffic,
whether it be high taxation, local option by
counties, local option by townships, statutory
prohibition or any other means that may be
proposed and which there may seem to be q
reasonable prospect of obtaining; and this
we believe is the position that all true friends
of temperance ought to assume.
